Jordan chains of h-cyclic matrices, II

Abstract

McDonald and Paparella [Linear Algebra Appl. 498 (2016), 145--159] gave a necessary condition on the structure of Jordan chains of h-cyclic matrices. In this work, that necessary condition is shown to be sufficient. As a consequence, we provide a spectral characterization of nonsingular, h-cyclic matrices. In addition, we provide results for the Jordan chains corresponding to the eigenvalue zero of singular matrices. Along the way, a new characterization of circulant matrices is given.
